My documents have quite a few inline images on the left side of the page with the image causing the text to wrap on the right side. The images are rather tall and skinny so there can be half a page or more of text next to the picture. The problem I have is the first character next to the picture, the cursor vanishes at that location. As soon as you get to the second character in the line the cursor reappears but if it is at the start of a line it vanishes. Hunting for the cursor gets annoying by the end of the day.

Is this a known bug or is it just my machine? And it there any way around it?
